1
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: Good morning, peepsend Welcome to wok F Daily with Meet

2
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: your Girl Danielle Moody. Recording from the Home Bunker. Folks,

3
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: Some news just broke as I was about to come

4
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: on air, and I want to bring it up for

5
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: all of you. Obviously, by the time of this recording

6
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: you will have seen it already, but it's worth noting. So.

7
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:42,520
Speaker 1: The European Union has issued a letter, a formal letter

8
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: to Elon Musk, demanding that he censor Donald Trump in

9
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: their upcoming interview the UN Warren's quote of legal obligations

10
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: if Musk does not take action to prevent the spread

11
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: of disinformation, I'll read you a part of of this letter.

12
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: Dear mister Musk, I am writing to you in the

13
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: context of recent events in the United Kingdom and in

14
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: relation to the plan broadcast on your platform X of

15
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: a live conversation between a US presidential candidate and yourself,

16
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: which will also be accessible to users in the EU.

17
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 1: I understand that you are currently doing a stress test

18
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: of the platform. In this context, I am compelled to

19
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: remind you of the due diligence obligations set out in

20
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: the Digital Service Act DSA, as outlined in my previous letter.

21
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: As the individual entity ultimately controlling a platform with over

22
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: three hundred million users worldwide, of which one third in

23
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: the EU, that has been designated a very large online platform,

24
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: you have the legal obligation to ensure x's compliance with

25
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: EU law and in particular the DSA In the EU.

26
00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: This notably means ensuring on one hand that freedom of

27
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: expression and of information, including media freedom and pluralism, are

28
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: effectively protected, and on the other hand, that all proportionate

29
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: and effective mitigation measures are put in place regarding the

30
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: amplification of harmful content and connection with relevant events including

31
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: live streaming, which if unaddressed, might increase the risk profile

32
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: of X and generate detrimental effects on civic discourse and

33
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: public security. This is important against the background of recent

34
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: example of public unrest brought about by amplification of content

35
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: that promotes hatred, disorder, incitement to violence, or certain instances

36
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: of disinformation. The letter continues, it also implies one informing

37
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: EU judicial and administrative authorities without undue delay on the

38
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: measures taken to address their orders against content considered illegal

39
00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: according to national and or EU law. Two taking timely, diligent,

40
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: non arbitrary and objective action upon receipt of notices by

41
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: users considering certain content illegal. Number three informing users concerning

42
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: the measures taken upon receipt of the relevant notice, and

43
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: number four publicly reporting about content moderation measures. In this respect,

44
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: I note that the DSA obligations apply without exception or

45
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: discrimination to the moderation of the whole user community and

46
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: content of X, including yourself as a user with over

47
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety million followers, which is accessible to

48
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: EU users and should be fulfilled in line with the

49
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: risk based approach of the DSA, which requires greater due

50
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: diligence in case a foreseeable increase of the risk profile.

51
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: This is major, and this is major for a couple

52
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: of reasons. One, the EU has sown themselves to have

53
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: stricter laws than the United States, where in fact, we

54
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: have continued to allow Donald Trump to spread his lies

55
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: and not only continue, but networks have you know, stormed

56
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: bar A Lago so that they can be front row

57
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: to his stream of consciousness, his bullshit, and his oh

58
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. According to NPR one hundred and sixty two

59
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: lies that he told at that quote unquote press conference

60
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: that took place last week. That means, folks, by the way,

61
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty two lies that Donald Trump told

62
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: at mar A Lago, that was two lies, two and

63
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: a half lies. I'm sorry a minute. If that is

64
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 1: not fucking compulsion and DSM five worthy, I don't know

65
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: what is. Nonetheless, the EU ahead of this event that

66
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: Elon Musk is of course putting together because he himself

67
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: is a effectual white supremacist, in cell transphobic piece of

68
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: garbage that they're basically saying to him, you've been put

69
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: on notice, right, So if you move forward with a

70
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: man that you know is a known liar that stokes violence,

71
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: that caused an insurrection inside of the United States and

72
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: continues to fuel white supremacy and white Christian nationalists beliefs,

73
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: then we are going to take action. And I only wish,

74
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: dear friends, that the United States had a Congress that

75
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 1: actually cared about the spread of disinformation, white supremacy, racism,

76
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: and hatred, because if we did, then following the insurrection

77
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: following January sixth, twenty twenty one, Congress would have sprung

78
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: into action to ensure that our airwaves, our online social

79
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: media platforms were safe spaces and devoid of content from

80
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and his white supremacist militia that he called

81
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: into action, but instead there is none. There has been

82
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: no action that has been taken over the last few

83
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: years since that devastating day in our country, and for

84
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 1: folks that have been following what has been going on

85
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: inside of the UK, it has been an absolute shit show,

86
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: with Nazi groups and other white supremacist groups marching, vandalizing,

87
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: burning buildings, setting fire to cars, terrorizing the migrant population,

88
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: the Muslim population in these areas, which by way are deep.

89
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: I will say that it did warm my heart to

90
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: see the thousands of anti racist protesters that have flooded

91
00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: the UK in recent weeks as a pushback to what

92
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: has been going on at the hands of these white

93
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: supremist fascists. But clearly the EU is incredibly concerned with

94
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: the fact that Donald Trump's rhetoric cause and effect leads

95
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: to increase in violence, and they are already dealing with

96
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: a volatile and violent situation. So you know, my whole

97
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: thing is that we know where Elon Musk stands. We

98
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: know that Elon Musk fired the entire department that was

99
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: monitoring hate speech and language on the Internet that as

100
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: soon as he took it over, there has been a

101
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: flood of bots and hatred and violent language, misogyny and

102
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: racism that has taken over Twitter. That nothing good has

103
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: actually come out of Elon Musk taking over this platform,

104
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: and they're aware of it, and he has weaponized it

105
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: against various communities that he does not like and wants

106
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: to see decimated. The fact that Elon Musk is allowed

107
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: to continue on knowing exactly what he has done to

108
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: this site and what a danger it causes to the

109
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: public is beyond me. But the reality here is that, look,

110
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: the EU is saying what we all know and what

111
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: we've been saying about Donald Trump, that he is a

112
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: violent figure, that his entire rhetoric is about causing pain,

113
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: causing disorder, and sowing chaos. That's the goal. That's the goal.

114
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: There is no part of anything that Donald Trump said

115
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: during that diatribe Stream of Consciousness like just bullshit that

116
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: said to us, Oh yeah, this man is serious. I mean,

117
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: we've been on Donald Trump to become serious since he

118
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:07,119
Speaker 1: came down the escalator referring to Mexicans as rapists and murderers.

119
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: We've been waiting for Donald Trump to get serious when

120
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: he referred to African nations as shithole countries. We've been

121
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: waiting for Donald Trump to get serious when he was

122
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: mocking people with disabilities and mocking veterans who were taken prisoner,

123
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: when he has put a target on the backs of

124
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: women and people who do not agree with him, when

125
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: he has called for violence against the judges that are

126
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: overseeing his cases. Folks, the list goes on and fucking on,

127
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: and yet he continues as of this recording, Donald Trump

128
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: is back on Twitter. And why is Donald Trump back

129
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: on Twitter? Well, one nobody goes on his broke down,

130
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: fucking social media platform. He's the only one that uses it,

131
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: and so he comes on to the place that has

132
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: three hundred million users. Right, even though millions of people

133
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: have left Twitter, I still remain on because I go on,

134
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: I post content, and I pretty much leave right. I

135
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 1: no longer there are no longer conversations to involve yourself

136
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: in or things to connect with, because it has become

137
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: such a degraded place that you just don't want to spend.

138
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: Like do you think to yourself, let me go swim

139
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: in that refreshing, beautiful lake, or let me go and

140
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: swim in a sewer. I mean, the choice seems to

141
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: be obvious. What I also want us to think about

142
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: as Donald Trump's rhetoric begins to increase and become increasingly erratic,

143
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: are a couple of things. One, there is recent conversation that,

144
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: of course is led by Donald Trump and his lies,

145
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: that Kamala Harris's rallies where she is getting ten twelve

146
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: thousand and just you know, thousands of people waiting in

147
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,440
Speaker 1: line and showing up to be a part of history,

148
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: they have been, according to Donald Trump aied and that

149
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: they are fake. Well, for once, The New York Times

150
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: actually has a headline worth note, which is that Trump

151
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: falsely claims that the crowd scene at Harris's rallies are fake.

152
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: That's it. It's not that hard to say Donald Trump

153
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: is lying and then say what Donald Trump is lying about,

154
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 1: as opposed to say Donald Trump calls into question whether

155
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: or not Kamala Harris's crowd size is true. It's like, no,

156
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: that's not it at all, because that would have to

157
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: put her campaign on the defense of something that we're

158
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: all seeing with our eyes. And so this is according

159
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: to Shane Goldmeacker at the New York Times. Former President

160
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump has taken his obsession with the large

161
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: crowds that Vice President Kamala Harris is drawing at her

162
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: rallies to New Heights, falsely declaring in a series of

163
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: social media posts over the weekend that she had used

164
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: quote artificial intelligence to create images and videos of fake crowds.

165
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: Now here's what we know to be true. The only

166
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: person who creates fake crowds by oh, I don't know,

167
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: paying people to show up is Donald Trump. And we

168
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: know this because former disgruntled staff of Donald Trump has

169
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 1: said us much. You see the people, the white folks

170
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: that readily rock blacks for Trump or Trump for blacks,

171
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: so whatever the fuck those stupid shirts say. And we

172
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: see that the people that are in those audiences, and

173
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: we always later find out that they are paid, right,

174
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: because guess what, no one wants to show up at

175
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's rallies anymore because they get there and this

176
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: man just dribbles on for you know, could be out

177
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: on end, like he did at the Republican National Convention.

178
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: So this writer goes on to say that the crowds

179
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: at miss Harris's events, including one in Detroit outside an

180
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: airplane hangar, which is the one that Donald Trump is

181
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: claiming was quote unquote ai'ed, were witnessed by thousands of

182
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: people and news outlets including the New York Times, and

183
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: the number of attendees claimed by her campaign is in

184
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: line with what was visible on the ground. Mister Trump

185
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: falsely wrote on social media site truth Social that there

186
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: was nobody at the plane and she aied it. A

187
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: spokesman for Trump campaign did not respond for a quest

188
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: for comment, because what are they gonna say. You even

189
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 1: have people like the friggin' boot liquor himself, the vek

190
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: Ramaswami posting on Twitter that Yeah, the crowd sizes are

191
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: real and why are we focusing on that as opposed

192
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: to focusing on her quote unquote bad policies. Donald Trump

193
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: does not have the right people around him. That was

194
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: a summary of the vexaries in tweet. And so even

195
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: his own people who have debased themselves for this man,

196
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: who have bended the knee, who have kissed the ring

197
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: and the ass of Donald Trump, can't go along with

198
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: what he is trying to formulate in his latest Scooby

199
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: Doo plan, which is to create some type of narrative

200
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: that these crowds are fake. Well, guess what, as was

201
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: reported by the New York Times, not only are news

202
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: outlets there on the ground with their own eyes and ears,

203
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: but thousands of people are there and are taken to

204
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: their social media and posting. So it's just like this

205
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: weird universe that we find ourselves in where this obsession

206
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: by the way of Donald Trump, this happened years ago.

207
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: It began with his inauguration. It began with the fact

208
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: that like, guess what, he did not have the same

209
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: crowds and size as a Barack Obama because guess what,

210
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: he ain't the same man. He has nothing to offer.

211
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: And I would argue, and look, I have said this before,

212
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: and I am not a conspiracy theorist, but I do

213
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: not believe that Donald Trump won in twenty sixteen. I

214
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: do believe that the Democrats just assumed that what they

215
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: saw was what they saw and he won readily, as

216
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: opposed to maybe we should have done some investigation into

217
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: the man with ties to Putin and to other dictators,

218
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: and you know, the troll machine and farm that Putin

219
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 1: used to spread this information, Like, maybe we should have

220
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: checked things out right, But you just assumed that you

221
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: take the results on their face, because why would you

222
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: ever question it? And you keep it moving. I beg

223
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: to differ. Nonetheless, that is water underneath the bridge. But

224
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: the reason why these lies, friends, are so incredibly insidious,

225
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: is because Donald Trump is currently planting the seeds and

226
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: has never right stopped planting the seeds of disbelief to

227
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: his followers so that we can have a twenty twenty

228
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: reducs where they do not accept the results of an election.

229
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: Just like right now, he is also throwing doubt on

230
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: the polls that show a seismic shift that has happened

231
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: where guess who is trailing in the polls, Donald Trump.

232
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: I say this, friends, not because I want us to

233
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: lose sight of goal at hand, which is this, We

234
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: need Kamala Harris not only to win, but we need

235
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: a fucking landslide. We need her to win so big

236
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: and so boldly that there is no question. I don't

237
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: want there to be even a margin. I don't want

238
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: her winning by just a thousand votes or ten thousand votes.

239
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 1: I want it to be a fucking blowout. And the

240
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: only way that that happens is if we continue this

241
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: enthusiasm all the way to November fifth. We have currently,

242
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: as of the time of this recording, eighty three days

243
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 1: until the election. And if we can keep this enthusiasm,

244
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 1: these zoom calls, this energy, the donations coming in, then

245
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: we are ensured that we will win. But let us

246
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: not count our chickens before they hatch and just take

247
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: for granted these polls and take our foot off the gas,

248
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: because if you remember, those very same poles told us

249
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen that Hillary Clinton was certain to win.

250
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: And how that could be, I don't fucking know, being

251
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: as how she didn't really go to battleground states or

252
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: what have you like. I'm not saying that they ran

253
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: a perfect campaign. They did not. But what I am

254
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: saying is that we know what is at stake, and

255
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: we cannot take our eyes off of the ball for

256
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: one fucking second here and assume that everyone else around

257
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: us is going to be doing the work. Because the

258
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: polls tell us that things are moving in our direction.

259
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: That is not how we win. We win by staying focused.

260
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: We win by digging in. We win by pushing past

261
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: the finish line. That's how we win. But what I

262
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: do know to be true is that Donald Trump is

263
00:18:56,160 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: in the midst of a tailspin and a fucking meltdown,

264
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: and that meltdown will only get worse and more dangerous

265
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: as we get closer to election day. So these are

266
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: not just you know lies to shrug off for these

267
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: you know claims that he's trying to get his folks

268
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: to pick up and run with and they're not doing it.

269
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 1: They are part of the larger stop the steal two

270
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,719
Speaker 1: point zero strategy by calling her a cheater, by saying

271
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: that she's cheating by creating AI images, knowing good goddamn

272
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,199
Speaker 1: well that what he is seeing is real, and that

273
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: is exactly why he is flipping out about it. We

274
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: have momentum on our side as we head into convention.

275
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:55,479
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has peaked and plateaued. But you never count

276
00:19:55,640 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 1: that fucking gremlin out right, because every time that we

277
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: think that Donald Trump is gone, that we think that

278
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 1: he's beat, that we think that the courts got him

279
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 1: on the ropes, that we think that you know so

280
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 1: and so got him on the ropes, turns around, man

281
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: is fucking teplon. So the only thing that we will

282
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: know for sure is if thousands upon thousands upon millions

283
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: upon millions of Americans show up and vote for Kamala

284
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 1: Harris on November fifth and get us over the finish line.

285
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: Anything other than that, friends, doesn't matter. We need a landslide,

286
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: and that is what we should be looking to from

287
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: the top of the ticket all the way down. Let's

288
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: give Kamala Harris the Congress that she needs to restore

289
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: Roe V. Wade, to restore voting rights, to restore affirmative action,

290
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: to better our healthcare system. Let her get the Congress

291
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: that she needs to transform this kind into a place

292
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: that we all can be proud of like we have

293
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: been over the last two weeks of watching the brilliant

294
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: athletes of the Olympics. Time magazine has her on the

295
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: cover with the title that says her moment, and I

296
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: would argue that it is America's moment. It is America's

297
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: moment to reclaim and fortify our democracy for generations to come.

298
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: That is it for me today, dear friends, on woke

299
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: af as always, Power to the people and to all

300
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 1: the people. Power, Get woke and stay woke as fuck.
